Fontwell good to go

This afternoon’s meeting at Fontwell was given the green light after an 8am inspection was brought forward.

The course was only hit by a minimal amount of rain overnight but conditions remain heavy.

“Racing goes ahead,” said clerk of the course Ed Arkell.

“We had 3mm of rain overnight and we are forecast to get around 4mm of rain or sleet throughout the rest of the day.

“We had no problems with the temperature, it never dropped below freezing all night.”
